The use of vegetable products to prolong the shelf life
of fish in addition to as a functional feed additive in aquaculture is expected
to increase significantly in the near future. In parallel with the increasing
world population, the inability to increase fisheries has made it inevitable to
meet the aquaculture needs from aquaculture and this has led to the continuous
increase of aquaculture and to reach a great market potential. Synthetic feed
additives and antibiotics used unconsciously have become a major problem with
the increase in aquaculture and in many countries restrictions on antibiotic
use have been imposed. As a result of these restrictions, interest in
functional feed additives has increased. It has been shown in many studies that
it may be appropriate to use herbal products as an alternative to antibiotics
and synthetic substances used as growth enhancers in aquaculture. Natural
products, such as medicinal plants, can be widely used as feed additives to
improve the efficiency of feed use and increase animal production performance.
This study aims to promote the use of medicinal plants as an alternative to
chemical products in the aquaculture
sector.
